The entertainment world is reeling from the sudden death of actress and model Shefali Jariwala, widely known as the "Kaanta Laga" girl. Jariwala, 42, passed away unexpectedly on June 27, 2025. She was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai by her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, but was sadly declared dead on arrival.
More Than Just a Cardiac Arrest?
While initial reports pointed to a cardiac arrest as the cause, new details suggest a more intricate picture. Sources indicate that a combination of factors, including low blood pressure, gastric distress, and potential self-medication, may have contributed to her sudden passing.
Reports reveal that Shefali had been fasting for a religious puja on the day of her death and reportedly consumed stale fried rice. Disturbingly, she also regularly used anti-aging injections and supplements like glutathione and vitamin C. Medical experts caution that such regimens can put a strain on the heart, especially when combined with fasting.
Police Investigation Underway
The Mumbai Police have launched an investigation to determine if self-medication and unsupervised anti-aging treatments played a significant role in her death. Authorities have found various medications at her residence and are awaiting the final post-mortem report to ascertain the precise cause. No foul play is suspected at this time.

Shefali Jariwala shot to fame with the immensely popular music video "Kaanta Laga" in the early 2000s and later captivated audiences during her stint on "Bigg Boss 13." Her untimely death has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, prompting vital conversations about health awareness, especially among young women, and the potential risks associated with certain cosmetic procedures.
